Do you currently use more than one meter? Our LabNavigator works with over 31 different sensors, including spectrophotometers (we sell ours and Ocean Optics USB models), turbidity, colorimetry, electrochemistry (pH, ORP, conductivity, dissolved oxygen (O2), chloride ion (Cl-) ISE, calcium ion (Ca2+) ISE, fluoride ion (F-) ISE, ammonium ion (NH4+) ISE, nitrate ion (NO3- ) ISE), gas sensors (carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2)), impact/force plate, soil moisture, barometer, temperature (thermistor, RTD, and infrared models) and much more.

Rechargeable batteries
High quality, lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack usually lets you to make measurements for an entire day before recharging. [Note: some sensors and types of measurements drain the charge on the battery pack more rapidly than others. A brief, mid-day charge may be necessary, or you can leave the LabNavigator connected to external power]
SD/MMC card slot
Six sensor ports
• Provides maximum versatility • Compatible with your Forston Labs sensors • Use multiple sensors, even those based on different technologies (e.g. pH, ISE, GPS, CO2 gas & turbidity) at the same time
USB peripheral expansion
• Connect to an HP printer, flash drive, USB keyboard, or other sensors that use the USB port (e.g., GPS, spectrophotometer, infrared thermometer. and more) • Each unit includes a USB flash storage drive loaded with oursoftware, manuals for all Forston Labs products, and more.
Stylus holder & stylus
Power input
Audio Out
Use audio out to connect headphones or speakers

The Sensor tab allows you to see current data in real time for up to 6 sensors and set the collection and viewing parameters. From this screen you can change data collection parameters (single point, time-based, event-based, etc.), change sensor title, and much more.
Collecting Data
• Single-point data collection • Time-based data collection • Event-based data collection • Full Spectrum • Drop collection with NavAutoDrop
GRAPH TAB
The Graph tab displays your collected data in a graph, in real time or after you have finished collecting and you need to complete an analysis. If using a time-based measurement , you will be able to watch your data graph in real-time. In addition, your spectrophotometer data will be plotted in real time for analysis in color.
Analysis Features
• Perform linear and curve fits • Draw a prediction before collecting data • Display two graphs at once • Display a tangent line on the graph • 1st & 2nd derivative • Multiple log and algebraic functions • Trigonometric functions • Autoscale • Integral function • Statistics • Delta • FFT • Peak integration • Model • Interpolate • Baseline adjustment
TABLE TAB
The Table Tab displays your collected data in a table format in real time or after you have finished collecting and you need to complete an analysis.
After collection, you can export this data to your thumb drive and display your data in Forston Labs' NavPilot software, which is provided with every LabNavigator. From NavPilot you can continue your analysis or export the data directly to excel.
METHODS TAB
The Method Tab provides you a location to review your methods, testing procedure or other ‘user created’ instruction. This information can be reviewed before, during and after data collection. Create your method with the NavCoPilot software from Forston Labs, which is provided with every LabNavigator.
NOTES TAB
The Notes Tab provides you a location to record observations or ‘notes’ while you are collecting data or after you have completed your data collection. Using this screen during data collection will not effect data collection, so note away!
After you have completed your measurement run, the note file will be exported with your data to your thumb drive. You can display your notes with your data in NavPilot or export it all to excel.
Other Built-In Applications
• Stopwatch • Periodic table of elements • Full periodic table • Detailed notes on every element • Atomic number & weight • Density, melting point, boiling point • Atomic & covalent radius • Atomic volume • Specific heat, heat of fusion • First ionization energy • Oxidation states • Electron configuration • On-screen keyboard • Scientific calculator
